Recent problem with iPhone and Davical

I'm using a Davical 0.9.9.5 installation on a Linux box to serve iPhone
clients and Thunderbird/Lightning clients. There are a few user accounts
("principals") and hundreds of calendar events (some repeating, some
not) in 5-6 calendars.

Starting some time last week, the iPhone clients (which report
themselves as "DAVKit/5.0 (770); iCalendar/5.0 (79); iPhone/4.3.3 8J2"
and "DAVKit/5.0 (767); iCalendar/5.0 (79); iPhone/4.2.1 8C148") stopped
receiving all of the calendar events. Only some events appear. On the
other hand the events show up in TB/Lightning just fine. There are no
errors in the logs.

Any ideas on debugging this?

Thanks,

Mihai

Does it work if you set them to "Sync All Events"?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Thanks, that did the trick. It displays all events now on the iPhone. So
is that the final solution for iPhones?

The strange thing is that the iPhone clients used to work two weeks ago,
and neither the clients nor the server have been updated (to the best of
my knowledge).

0.9.9.5 was released on 2011-09-11, and that's where the Apple
ipod/iphone problem started showing up.

So apparently, you did upgrade. It's easy to do on a Debian/Ubuntu
system, it slips into the list of other upgrades during an "apt-get
upgrade". I upgraded (knowingly) last week, and had the same
problem on my iphone and ipod, both running iOS 4.3. Changing
the "sync" settings to "all events" did the trick for me, too.

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, it turns out that the Davical installation
was upgraded automatically overnight -- which was nice, except for this
new issue. :)
